I actually really enjoy this, it’s really cool to login each day and only see UK specific content in a similar style of the subreddits of old, and with most of the features of Reddit. Previously I had to have them with a multi reddit, but my home page was full of world wide content.

I like that due to federation I can still look at content from around the world but it’s not my default experience. Feels more personalised.

    I’ve held back on number of communities moderated too, as I feel at this stage it’s also kinda my duty to act as a starter motor until things get going.
    Being a mayor of a ghost town ain’t no fun!

    Some other instances have community creation turned off, so communities need to be thought through and sent to admins for approval. I’m kinda neutral on the idea, because while it might raise the quality and commitment, it’s another entry barrier.
